" DICE is creating our next Battlefield game with never-before-seen scale. The technical advancements of the new consoles are allowing the team to deliver on a true next-gen vision for the franchise. We have hands-on play testing underway internally, and the team’s been getting very positive feedback on the game as we’ve begun to engage our community. The next Battlefield is set to launch in holiday 2021, and we are excited to share a lot more about the game in the sprin
It’s undeniable that Battlefield 5 was the most disappointing entry in the series for many players, and both EA and DICE have a lot of work to do with **Battlefield 6 ** if they want to make up for all of its predecessor’s shortcomings. Hopefully, both companies have learned from the failure of Battlefield 5 and are able to revive hope and excitement for the series when they finally reveal more information on the game next y
Of course, the Battlefield franchise could surprise fans with something completely new for the series. Perhaps not as outlandish Battlefield Hardline , but something like a completely new time period or setting. There's still a variety of conflicts throughout world history that many games, not just Battlefield , still haven't tackled in a video game. Conflicts like the American Civil War, the Korean War, and the modern 20th century Middle Eastern conflicts come to mind. Any one of those wars would be a wild departure for the series thus far, but would be incredibly unique. It would give a chance for players to get to know some of the lesser conflicts in world history that are worth know
On a related note, Henderson briefly touched upon the topic of free-to-play. Lately, it’s becoming more common to see paid games implement some sort of free-to-play extension on the side, such as Call of Duty: Warzone and the multiplayer for Halo Infinite . And with EA and DICE potentially adding a battle royale mode to Battlefield 6 , it led Henderson to wonder, "could EA and DICE be planning a F2P Battlefield experien
With DICE supposedly having "crazy ambitious ideas" planned for Battlefield 6 , Wilson’s talk of unprecedented scale and the power of next-gen consoles seems fitting. These remarks accompanied the game’s release window, however, which sees the next Battlefield project lined up for a release during the 2021 Holiday season. While this may be a good bit away, having a general idea of when the next game will be releasing should be comforting for Battlefield 2042 guide|https://battlefield2042pedia.com/ f
What's more impressive is how, even with all these elements of choice and weapon customization, guns still fit right in with the staples of the Create-A-Class system. Even amongst all of the possibilities of unfair advantages with Gunsmith, the system was balanced surprisingly well with perk distribution in multiplayer. Duplicates like faster reloading perks were adjusted and changed, and some existing perks were routed into different tiers to compensate for new weapon perks and attachments. Gunsmith's comprehensive customization allowed greater variety, largely without sacrificing competitive balance in the process. There have been some egregious exceptions in Modern Warfare like the GRAU , but for the most part the game has aptly balanced guns and perks quite w
Henderson wouldn’t say if this means DICE will be bringing 64-vs-64 modes to Battlefield 6 as well, but did suggest that EA and DICE are considering putting that increased player count to use in some sort of battle royale, citing "increased interest" from the two due to the success of Call of Duty: Warzo
The current game in the series, Battlefield 5 , was marred with issues from the day it was released. The game not only felt incomplete, with its miniscule map roster and plethora of bugs, but future updates were incredibly inconsistent and many promised features never saw the light of day, such as the 5v5 competitive mode . Even its attempt at a battle royale mode, called Firestorm in Battlefield 5 , wasn’t safe from its own set of issues. Battlefield 5’s life cycle was so turbulent that its final content patch was released last summer , more than a year before the next game in the series is expected to rele
Reliable Call of Duty leaker Tom Henderson recently tweeted out a response to another leaker named Anton Logvinov. The Russia-based insider, while echoing claims that the game is running well, claimed that the game is something fans will not want. Henderson describes himself as a "long time fan of the Battlefield franchise" and says that he does "believe it’s what fans want," so it will be interesting to see which leaker is ultimately correct regarding Battlefield
Internal playtesting for Battlefield 6 is already underway, says Wilson, and that feedback on the game has been positive so far. With the game set to launch sometime late next year, the company plans to show off more about its next Battlefield game in the coming spring. According to EA, Battlefield 6 will be one of six new next-generation games, which also include a new Need for Speed game, that the company plans to launch during the 2022 fiscal year, which runs from April 2021 to March 2
